My back has not stopped hurting for over a month now. It makes it very difficult to sleep and work. Let's not even talk about doing prostrations! And to top it all off I lost my temp job because I'm taking anti-depression medicine to help me sleep at night due to my hurt back which caused me to oversleep and miss a day of work combined with all the other times I missed work due to the pain in my back being unbearable.

Oh, and I suffer from frequent migraines, and could possibly have PTSD and depression...

These are complaints that need to be lodged with a higher authority

Oh, I've already gone to the doctor. Three different ones in fact. I need to call the VA back to set up an appointment for x-rays on my back so they can start to schedule me for physical therapy. I have a psychology appointment next week to see if I really am depressed or have PTSD. I have some leads on a new job, just waiting to hear back...

I once got one of those too. It was awful. It didn't match at all with my orange avatar.

Yah I loose it when peeps can't spell especially when its they're own gender. Its not two hard is it? Drives me nuts, like alot. For all intensive purposes they should just go back to school and relearn this stuff.

Oh, don't get me started on weasel words/corporate speak, mismatches of plural and singular in the same phrase or sentence, confusion over possessive and plural, and the use of woman/women as an adjective, such as "woman doctor", "woman engineer", etc. Peoples, the proper adjective is FEMALE. Woman is a NOUN. Got it?

Going to a restaurant and being served morsels of food prettily-arranged but underwhelming in taste on plates the size of satellite dishes. Luckily this has only ever happened to me when I've been invited to such a place by others, usually work-related, so I don't need to pay.

Artistic dribbles of runny sauce (usually called jus) which are completely separated from the food the sauce is supposed to accompany, and in hopelessly inadequate quantity. The same goes for desserts which are surrounded by an empty space the width of Saturn's rings, beyond which are small dots or swirls of whatever sweet sauce was supposed to complement the dessert.

The cult of the celebrity chef. Those who dictate who may and may not cross the threshold of their establishment need to look up the etymology and meaning of the words minestrone, restaurant, and hospitality.

The feeling of needing to fart while at work is annoying. And if you can't hold it anymore, you hope someone doesn't walk by...but they always do.

I'm always afraid the guy in the cube behind me will hear it, but I let 'er rip anyway. I guess that's better than when I worked in an actual office secluded somewhat from other people and would let loose a belch loud enough to rattle my office door.

Orange can be arranged too

That would be fabulous!

It seems like every room mate I move in with ends up being completely oblivious to common sense in the house hold. Or maybe the German runs to deep in my family and I'm to order driven. I need order (might be the reason I love ROCOR ), as Saint Paul's says "1Cor:14:40: Let all things be done decently and in order."

Things I dislike about room mates:1) If you spill something on the counter...CLEAN IT UP!2) Don't slam doors shut3) If you take a shower, dry off IN the shower, or lay a towel down so you don't drip on the bathroom rug. Because I don't want to walk into the bathroom with my socks on and get them soaking wet!4) If you are to lazy to take out the recycling, don't throw the recyclables in the garbage! 5) If you take something, put it back where it was6) Don't burn food in every pan in the house7) Hubert Booth invented the vacuum cleaner to use, not to look at8 ) Unplug appliances with heating elements9) When burning incense(normal stick ones) use something to catch the ashes10) Don't turn the floor heater on and drape wires over it

-Why the heck is it so difficult to get this guy to stop touching me inappropriately? I've tried to be understanding and forgiving, but if he does it once more, I'm pressing charges.

-I try to be nice to everyone. Why can't people just be nice back? Can't you either be kind to me or leave me the hell alone?

-Why do small insects always die in my coffee during the day?

-Why isn't there a men's monastery closer to my home?

-Why do teachers at school have to fight over me and my time?

-Why can't I just graduate and have a successful life and be an old man sitting on my porch watching the birds already? Life is taking considerably longer than it aught to, as I'm already sick of everyone.

-Why did my mother and my grandmother have to hate each other?

-Why do all of my family have to be either in NJ or not talking to us? All of my friends are having graduation parties, but I haven't got any family.

-Why can't I find clothes to wear when I go shopping? My 7 shirts and two pairs of shoes are getting very old.

-Why can't my grandfather be alive now to help me figure my life out?

-Why does everyone have to judge me for being religious?

-Why can't people just leave me alone to be as I am? I don't bother anyone too much. I just want to be who I want to be without everyone's judgement.

-Why can't Fr. Seraphim Rose just walk out of the icon and tell me how to deal with my feelings?

I echo your thoughts. St. Paul has some great advice for just such threads:

"[6] Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; [7] and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. [8] Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things."

Philippians 4:6-8 NKJV

"The Scots-Irish; Brewed in Scotland, bottled in Ireland, uncorked in America." ~Scots-Irish saying

I don't like it when people use "lead" in a sentence, such as in one like this: "He lead them all the way down into the valley." Please use "led". Please? It would mean the world to me. Thanks

Come on now. Don't loose your cool!

Ugh. And I see that one all the time on weight loss/bodybuilding forums. "How can I loose weight more quickly?" "I want to loose 20 lbs. by summer!" I guess these are more pet peeves than complaints...

"A woman is facing charges of 'careless and inconsiderate driving' after deliberately driving through a puddle at high speed to soak a group of people waiting at a bus stop. The charge carries a fine of up to £2,500."

Yes, as long as someone being upset that they got wet is sufficient evidence in court that the alleged driver was exceeding the speed limit. In most jurisdictions in the US, phoning in such a report would be met with "oh that's nice. We'll get right on it" as they chuckle hanging up the phone.
